Slowly but surely Red and Billie Don have taken over the Blanco County mysteries but that is okay. I used to think I wanted to grow up to be John Marlin but I realized that I am actually closer to Red and Billie Don. These novels are hilarious and fun. My only complaint is that Ben Rehder doesn't write nearly as fast as I read or listen.

This book was not what I expected and took me a little to get into it. Once I did I became enthralled and now I am going to have to buy the next book in the series. It is that good. It could use a little more show me instead of tell me but overall the story is engaging.

I have read all of Krueger's books so far and he does get a little preachy. This time he went overboard. He reduced a very complex problem with illegal immigration to "scared people write stupid laws" that should be ignored. Border Patrolmen enforcing those laws think that people who look Hispanic are more likely to be illegally in this country than people who look Scandinavian. Everybody who enters this country illegally is really a good person. So in the plot of this book because bad laws should be ignored we end up with the good guys killing lots of people and in some cases hiding the bodies because, like immigration laws we don't believe in, dealing with the legal consequences of the killings would be inconvenient.

David Chandler did an excellent job of narrating and the story was engaging.

I love John Dalglish's city homicide books and especially this one. Cop on the verge of retirement trying to solve one last case before he goes. Well written and great narration.

An entertaining read - it had some interesting twists and turns that I didn't expect, I like the characters and I would read another book by the same author. The narration was well done!

I really enjoyed this book and I bought the next one in the series. It was entertaining and I couldn't put it down. My only complaint is that there was no resolution of anything at the end, just a lead in to the next book.

It was well written and I loved the narrator.

I really love this series and the narrator is great. Heroine was accused of a crime, acquitted at trial, and in the first book actually proved she was innocent but is still tainted. So she works for a lawyer and gets in over her head at times. Fun read and a great series!

A very engrossing novel about class warfare, love, betrayal and all that sort of stuff. Good enough that I have to get the next book in the series.

For some reason I was especially touched by this book. As usual Teri Schnaubell turns in a fantastic performance and the plot was fun.
